The Taposa were a small tribe like their neighbors, the Ibitoupa and Chakchiuma, who all lived along the upper Yazoo River between the larger, more powerful Chickasaw and Choctaw.[2][3]
History
17th century
The Taposa were first written about by French colonist Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville in 1699.[4]
18th century
Baron de Crenay's 1733 map of Louisiana includes a Taposa settlement near the Chakchiuma.[4] Another neighboring tribe, the Ibitoupa may have merged into the Taposa in 1722.[5] The Taposa ultimately allied with the Chickasaw.[4]
Name
The original meaning of the name "Taposa" has been lost.[6]
